WEB EXCLUSIVE: Cult Facials

The Apple Stem Cell Facial at Sonya Dakar

Antiaging enthusiasts are all abuzz about the recently discovered rare Swiss apple and its remarkable self-preservation properties. Leave it to skincare guru and chemist's wife Sonya Dakar to be among the first in Hollywood to weave that beauty breakthrough into one of the facials at her Beverly Hills oasis, the Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic. The Apple Stem Cell Facial (90 min./$350) starts with a peel using lactic acid, physic acid and resveratrol. Then during an exfoliation procedure, apple stem cells are injected into the skin, and LED red light is employed to help them penetrate. The treatment is topped off with Dakar's new cream, NutraSphere Stem Cell Transformer.
